Fallingwater: The Building of Frank Lloyd Wright's Masterpiece
Fallingwater: The Building of Frank Lloyd Wright's Masterpiece | Marc Harshman, Anna Egan Smucker
2 posts | 1 read | 8 to read
In Bear Run, Pennsylvania, a home unlike any other perches atop a waterfall. The water's tune plays differently in each of its sunlight-dappled rooms; the structure itself blends effortlessly into the rock and forest behind it. This is Fallingwater, a masterpiece equally informed by meticulous research and unbounded imagination, designed by the lauded American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. This book guides readers through Wright's process designing Fallingwater, from his initial inspirations to the home's breathtaking culmination. It is a exploration of a man, of dreams, and of the creative process; a celebration of potential. Graceful prose and rich, dynamic illustrations breathe life into the story of Frank and Fallingwater, a man and home utterly unlike any other.

This is a beautiful children‘s book about fallingwater and we hope to visit sometime in the next year, but after reading “Loving Frank,” all I can think of is (and it seems quite macabre) Mamah his #burningbride #NoFemmeber Hope that‘s not too much of a spoiler. 😬

Crazeedi I lived 45 minute from there for many years, beautiful 5y
CarolynM Another of my bucket list destinations❤️ 5y
Billypar I had to sneak a look at Wikipedia, and oh my....never heard of that before in connection to FLW! A story that is in stark contrast to the peaceful nature of his work like Fallingwater. 5y

Cinfhen Here I go again, I‘ve been meaning to read tagged book but #SoManyBooksSoLittleTime 5y
JennyM @Cinfhen me too. I hope to get to this very soon (she says for the millionth time 🙃) 5y
Blaire @Crazeedi were not too far away either and my in-laws live in Morgantown so it‘s a doable trip. @CarolynM 5y
Blaire @Cinfhen @jennym I would never have gotten to it if it hadn‘t been a book club pick. My tbr is almost 1000 books long (and those are ones I‘ve actually put on a goodreads list). 😂😂😂 5y
Blaire @Billypar yes, it‘s shocking! 5y

A house like no other,
where sun can shine,
where balconies can fly,
where falling water
is heard from every room.

Gorgeous book about how Wright planned and built the fabulous Fallingwater home in 1934. I feel like I need to visit this place. Going on the bucket list!
